Shawn McCoulsky

Reality check - How many players that we have sent out on loan have come back at the end of the loan and secured a regular first team place? I’m not counting Doidge as his loan was intended to become permanent.

True, but I’d argue that was purely by accident with the Adam Smith situation.I think Thomas said himself in an interview the plan was for him to go out on loan again this season!

Yeah but accidents happen and Lewis has come back stronger for the experience at Yate. I agree though that few come back. I hope Shawn does - he provides a different sort of option up front - if he can get his confidence up

Most loans are season long loans and I agree that players don't usually return and secure a regular first team place.

But this is only a month long loan. Our strikers are not performing at the moment so if Shawn does well at Bromley and starts scoring goals, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be given another chance to do the same for us.

Hard for any striker to perform with the service they enjoy at FGR. It wouldn't make much difference if we put Ronaldo up top at the moment.
